I asked my trainer about this, and this is basically bang-on what he told me. This is what I'll be doing in the spring most likely.
-
My honest opinion is to not take too much stock into things that track calories burned, it's a really hard thing to accurately gauge.
-
^Agreeed. You can always throw in some oats too if you have a good blender
-
Can we get more information please? What is your current weight, how many calories are you eating a day, and what kind of training are you doing?
-
What's the plan?
-
Consistency is key. That's how logging helps I think. We don't need to be perfect but we do need to be accountable.
-
It's definitely possible with people on your side. Do you have a plan?
-
I'm in the same place. Meal prep is a life saver, I would not be able to do this without having things ready or having to figure out what to eat every day.

Motivation will always ebb and flow. Always keep a clear view of your goals, track your progress, and remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. You've come such a long way already!
-
Patience & Consistency are key! All the best with your journey!
-
Having a solid team makes a big difference
-
To take a different route here, how much are you currently eating? Could it possibly be not enough?
-
I agree with the above. I think you'd be better served with a solid bulking phase. You're body weight is probably pretty low already so you might not be able to lose much more fat and like the others said, you'll need to put on some muscle in order to get that definition.

Always open to new friends!
-
Focus on isolation movements. Use dumbbells or machines with seperate stacks to tackle each side equally.
-
It's a new month, a good time to make some new friends.
-
Be sure to track your workouts and keep progressing with weight, but is seems like you're on a good track.

I was suggesting easy additives to supplement what he's doing already. Thanks for sharing how you feel.

When it comes to bodybuilding, we're never really "done", we're always going to be working towards more muscle & less fat. Think about the long game. If you're ready to stop cutting, then go ahead and switch into a bulk/strength phase. You can cut again afterwards to take off some of the fat you will inevitably gain while…

In addition, the journey will teach you many things that you can use to make your weight loss last a lifetime, things that must be learned over time and through experience.

I'm eating 3000 a day and it's all clean. I can understand how it's hard but it's definitely possible. Consider adding olive oil for fat, steel cut oats for carbs, and egg whites for protein.
-
I did a reverse diet this year as I transferred to a bulk, what do you want to know?
-
Meal prep might help! If you have foods planned and prepared it might be easier to avoid temptation.
-
Consistent caloric deficit is still going to be what results in weight loss, so keep at it, slow and steady
-
I have my doubts that you're actually 51% body fat though. On the higher side yes, but not that high. BF% on a scale is usually not very accurate.
-
Seems like you know what you want to do, glad you figured it out 🙏
-
Yes, even though you can still see your abs a bit, I bet your %fat is pushing 20%, although I'm not the best judge of that. Even while lean bulking, you will put on some fat, as I'm learning as I do the same. The higher we go, the more work it is to come back down. Switching from hypertrophy to strength training would be a…
-
I'm inclined to agree with watts. Why not focus on strength for a period now?
-
Sounds good, planning to up your calories?
-
Patience is very important in this journey. It's better to start slow and ramp up rather than start heavy and burn out. Marathon vs. Sprint
